Is that so surprising ?
Whether you see creating such games as art or as a business, both aspects are influenced by social trends. And always where.
But trends also change and old habits experience some kind of reappearance over time.
Like I read about the other day that those career-orientated families with few to no children getting out of fashion again and somewhat larger families are having a slight comeback, at least in Europe that was.
So style and taste in gaming, movies, music and many other things that are influenced by society might change back too.
Another possibility is that society as a whole won't slow don't but that individual people will start searching for some slow down in their lives which could lead to a more thought-full approach of gaming as well.
